I like the idea behind this thread that I found on another forum.

My daughter found this for me and after reading it, I started to see that it made sense to me.
So I'm just thought that I would share it on the forum. In the hope if other people see what that beast looks like, then you will find it a lot easier to beat this SA monster. So you can live a long and happy life with no more SA in your life.

This would be first time ever that foreign military has been stationed here permanently. During the Second World War it was only for the duration.
